Marking a configuration as trusted

For configuration revision control, the Mark as Trusted action enables authorized users to designate for a device the trusted (that is, desired state) Running and Startup configurations. For recommendations on managing the trusted configuration see Maintaining the trusted configuration. The trusted configuration acts as a snapshot with which future configuration changes are compared, monitored, audited, and reported. A discrepancy occurs when one or more of the following conditions exist:

  • Current Running configuration is different from the Startup configuration
  • Current Running configuration is different from its Trusted Running configuration
  • Current Startup configuration is different from its Trusted Startup configuration
  • Current Running configuration OS version is different from its Trusted Running OS version

The Dashboard displays the number and percentage (%) of online devices with and without discrepancies on a pie chart.
